The funny thing about history It keeps repeating what we got wrong Religious wars to settling old scores Ancient grudges we should have forgot We all believe in our democracy But the elections are bought by the rich The establishment prefers the 1% It’s a fix that we just can’t quit How long will it take us to finally make something new? When will we wake up and finally stop getting screwed It’s hypocrisy, not democracy and we’re all being used How long will it take us to make, make something new? We all have ideas but when the government steals Corruption wins out every time Racist bigotry in forms of policy And get the middle cla** to tow the line It’s time to make a democratic state And give everyone an equal chance Put an end to war and don’t just bomb the poor It’s the only chance we really have How long will it take us to finally make something new? When will we wake up and finally stop getting screwed It’s hypocrisy, not democracy and we’re all being used How long will it take us to make, make something new? I feel consensus coming on Armed with the truth then we can’t go wrong The [?] consumed by greed So what’s there left to do? How long will it take us to make, make something new? Something new? How long will it take us to make, make something new? Something new? Make something new?
